Grounding Instructions; Filtration System - Whirlpool WDF520PADM User Manual

For a grounded, cord-connected dishwasher:
The dishwasher must be grounded. In the event of a
malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of
electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for
electric current. The dishwasher is equipped with a cord
having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding
plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet
that is installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
WARNING:
Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.

Filtration system

Your dishwasher has the latest
technology in dishwasher filtration.
This filtration system minimizes
sound and optimizes water and
energy conservation while providing
superior cleaning.
The filter system consists of two
parts, an upper filter assembly and
lower filter.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to dishwasher, do not operate your
dishwasher without filters properly installed. Be sure lower filter is
securely in place and upper filter assembly is locked into place. If upper
assembly turns freely, it is not locked into place.
Filter maintenance
The filters may need to be cleaned when:
Visible objects or soils are on upper
filter assembly.
Dishes feel gritty to the touch.
See "Filtration System" in full User Guide for
complete removal and maintenance
schedule.
IMPORTANT: Do not use wire brush,
scouring pad, etc., as they may damage the
filters.
Rinse filter under running water until soils are
removed. If you have hard to remove soils or
calcium deposits from hard water, a soft
brush may be required.
Do not use dishwasher until completely installed.
Do not push down on open door.
Doing so can result in serious injury or cuts.

WARNING
Tip Over Hazard
Check with a qualified electrician or service representative if
you are in doubt whether the dishwasher is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the
dishwasher; if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
For a permanently connected dishwasher:
The dishwasher must be connected to a grounded metal,
permanent wiring system, or an equipment-grounding
conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and
connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on
the dishwasher.
Drying - Rinse Aid is essential.
You must use a drying agent such as
a rinse aid for good drying
performance. Rinse aid along with
the Heat Dry option will provide best
drying and avoid excessive moisture
in dishwasher interior.
Energy efficiency
Energy efficiency is gained by extending cycle time and reducing the
amount of wattage and water used during your dishwasher's cycle. For
exceptional cleaning, cycles are longer due to the soak and pauses.
Several models contain an optical water sensor used to determine
water and energy consumption for great cleaning performance.
Efficient dishwashers run longer to save water and energy, just as
driving a car slower saves on gas.
Press start/resume every time
you add a dish.
IMPORTANT: If anyone opens the door (such as, for
adding a dish, even during the Delay Hours option),
START/RESUME must be pressed each time.
If START/RESUME is located on top of door: Push door
firmly closed within 3 seconds of pressing START/
RESUME. If door is not closed within 3 seconds, the
start button LED will flash, an audible tone will be
heard, and cycle will not start.
